pam

I'm looking for a Linux pam module that accepts any password for connections from a specific IP. I don't want to disable passwords completely.

I need it for migration from one imap server to another (cyrus to zimbra) without knowing every password. I used such a module some six years ago. That was for imap migration too. Unfortunately I cannot recall the name of the module and can't find it by other means either.

Any pointers?
